Epithelial cells are essential to the survival and homeostasis of complex organisms. These
cells cover the surfaces of all mucosae, the skin, and other compartmentalized structures …

While spermatozoa undergo epididymal maturation, they remain quiescent thanks to the
establishment of a low luminal pH. This study is aimed at determining how epithelial cells …

Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause
cystic fibrosis (CF) and are associated with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens …

Solute carrier family 9 isoform 3 (SLC9A3), a Na+/H+ exchanger, regulates the
transepithelial absorption of Na+ and water and is primarily expressed on the apical …

Abstract Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE)-3 is important for intestinal absorption of nutrients and
minerals, including calcium. The previous investigations have shown that the intestinal …

Background The Na-H exchanger [NHE] performs an electroneutral uptake of NaCl and
water from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. There are several distinct NHE isoforms …

This chapter discusses the roles of blood brain barrier (BBB) ion transporters and channels
in edema formation occurring during ischemic stroke. While many studies have addressed …

In the ileum of the brushtail possum, Trichosurus vulpecula, fluid secretion appears to be
driven by electrogenic HCO 3− secretion. Consistent with this, the cystic fibrosis …

Sodium/proton exchangers are ubiquitous secondary active transporters that can be found
in all ingdoms of life. These proteins facilitate the transport of protons in exchange for …

Die Darmtransplantation ist eine Therapieoption in der Behandlung des Kurzdarmsyndroms/
Darmversagens. Die Langzeitprognose nach Transplantation ist immer noch …
